Description
When I set CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN / SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN to a domain, like "example.com", (no leading dot), the cookies are set to ".example.com" (with leading dot). To me, this is not clear from the docs, so this is either an undocumented feature or unintended behavior.

From Mozilla's documentation for the
Set-Cookieheader: "Contrary to earlier specifications, leading dots in domain names are ignored. If a domain is specified, subdomains are always included."PR
